EDECS, as the main contractor, is carrying out works for a key segment of Egypt’s integrated high-speed electric railway network, a nationwide system extending 1,750 km and designed for speeds of up to 250 km/h to transport passengers, tourists, and cargo across the Eastern and Northern coasts, as well as Luxor and Aswan, supporting the broader objective of linking the Capital with major cities across the country. The project comprises three main lines: Al Sokhna – Alamein, Alexandria – Matrouh, and Hurghada – Luxor. The scope of works is located in the King Mariot zone, Alexandria City, covering the alignment from station (342+742) to station (343+610), with a total length of 867 m. It includes extensive bridge works comprising excavation, 4,000 m³ of foundations, and the main bridge concrete superstructure incorporating 16,800 m³ of post-tension box girders, in addition to 8,000 m³ of cast-in-situ frames and columns. The works also include access road construction with the implementation of base and asphalt layers, ensuring full integration of the structure within the high-speed railway corridor.
